GPC FALL 2012

Yes I'm an Lpn, I thought that I would have a better chance of getting into the generic program rather than the bridge.

Hi Everyone!!! I can't wait to meet everyone at orientation. I am so excited...and nervous at the same time.

Has anyone bought uniforms yet? I guess we are supposed to get the zip top and pants? Am wondering about all the other supplies too, and if this is the best place to get them.

Hey mg100,I ordered my scrubs (zip tops & pants) fri, expect them tomorrow. Found K-Swiss sneakers @Hibbets for $40 versus $60 @meridys. Bought my stethescope kit (scope,penlite,scissors,w/holder) @campus bookstore on a whim $25. I wish I bought the kit that also included the blood pressure cuff online with my order, it would have been cheaper. I plan on investing in a Littman later down the road. Have you seen the thread about Dr's "borrowing" our scopes? It's shameful. I'll see if I can find the post.

Found it :"Why is it the highest paid among us...."Awesome thread, I love All Nurses!

Hey,I haven't received anything after the initial packet...I'm taking my CPR Class in June...if you want to I can give you info where and exact day...it'd be nice to meet with some people before the semester starts...

Hey Watashi,

Did you order anything else other than Fundamentals? The book list is pretty long and obviously we don't need all of them in the first semester...I emailed the instructor what books we need for the I semester and she said that 90% of the time we will use Fundamentals but didn't say what else if anything is necessary...

I got the three on the "required" list: Fundamentals, Nutrition and Medical-Surgical. I also got #10 - Davis's Tests. Then I saw (I think in this forum) that the Davis stuff is available online, or through iPhone apps, so I didn't get the other one, or the dictionary.

I skipped the optional fundamentals study guide - it got terrible reviews on Amazon for typos and errors. I may get the mental health and pharmacology later this summer, but it seemed like those might be for future semesters. SURELY this list is to cover several semesters - these books are HUGE!

Hi everyone, I took my CPR class last week and got my card as well. I did the background check and drug test also. I just have to order books,uniforms and supplies.@ bearcat194 I was thinking of getting kswiss sneakers as well. @ Watashi where did you order your books from. I was thinking of using Amazon.

Watashi,Did you get Fundamentals with Cd's and etc. in a bundled option?

It does have a cd and an access code. It is the only one I bought new, since the day I was shopping there weren't any "used like new" copies available for much cheaper. I paid $92m but someone mentioned a place you could get it much cheaper.
